2002 FORD F SUPER DUTY Power Train Problems

THIS ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS REPLACED BY FORD IN A FACTORY RECALL ON APRIL 2011. AT THE TIME THE ORIGINAL PEDAL WORKED FINE BUT IT WAS CHANGED OUR ANYWAY. THE REPLACEMENT PEDAL FAILED ON 12/15/14. DURING FAILURE, THE VEHICLE ENGINE COMPLETELY LOSES POWER AND GOES BACK TO IDLE. DURING CERTAIN MANEUVERS THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, SUCH AS ACCELERATING TO MERGE ON THE FREEWAY OR PULLING OUT FROM A STOP SIGN IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE READ OF MANY INSTANCES WHERE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER FORD OWNERS. FORD NEEDS TO COME UP WITH A REPLACEMENT THAT IS RELIABLE AS THIS IS A KEY COMPONENT TO SAFE VEHICULAR TRAVEL. *TR

VEHICLE CAN SHIFT OUT OF PARK WHEN KEY IS IN "ACCESSORIES" MODE WITHOUT PUTTING PRESSURE ON BRAKE PEDAL. *TR

INJECTOR DRIVE MODULE (IDM), DIESEL 7.3 NAVISTAR ENGINE. IDM FAILED WHERE THE LIKELY CAUSE WAS WATER INFILTRATION OF THE DEVICE WITH SUDDEN CATASTROPHIC RESULTS WHICH INCLUDED A SUDDEN SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF ENGINE POWER, INABILITY TO MAINTAIN HIGHWAY SPEED, INABILITY TO KEEP SPEED ABOVE 5 MILES PER HOUR, AND DEMONSTRATION OF SEVER ROUGHNESS DURING ATTEMPTS TO REV THE ENGINE OR IDLE LOADS. DUE TO THE IDM FAILURE, THREE OF EIGHT FUEL INJECTORS WERE RENDERED NONFUNCTIONAL AND REPLACED; ALSO THE ACTUAL NUMBER OF INJECTORS THAT WERE ONLINE OR OFFLINE DURING THE IDM FAILURE TO ENGINE SHUT-DOWN PERIOD WAS UNKNOWN. DURING THE IDM FAILURE TO ENGINE SHUT-DOWN PERIOD OF ~3 MILES, THE VEHICLE'S OBDII SYSTEM DID NOT ILLUMINATE ANY DASHBOARD INDICATORS DESPITE THE ENGINE'S INABILITY TO FUNCTION NORMALLY. IDM WAS OPERATED IN MANUFACTURER'S OEM CONFIGURATION, WITHOUT MODIFICATIONS, AND UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. ALL PARTS SENT DIRECTLY FROM MECHANIC SHOP TO SUPPLIERS UNDER CORE REPLACEMENT...

FOR 5.4L V8 TRITON SOHC 1999-2002 SPARK PLUG BLOW OUT FROM CYLINDER HEAD. ITS NOT BEEN TWO YEARS AND THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IT HAS HAPPENED AT A COST TO ME OF $4600. PLUG INSTALLED IN ASSEMBLY BLEW OUT, HAD REPAIRED, IT BLEW OUT, HAD IT REPAIRED AGAIN BY A CERTIFIED FORD DEALER. IT LASTED MONTH & HALF. NOW WANT TO REPLACE CYLINDER HEAD WITH SAME POOR DESIGN HEAD PUTTING ME BACK WHERE I WAS 3 PLUGS AGO AND READY TO SPEND $4600. MORE. THERE IS ONLY 4 THREADS HOLDING ANY AND ALL PLUGS. DESIGN FLAW. I WORK IN AVIATION, IF OUR BLADES STARTED BLOWING OUT, THEY WOULD GO THROUGH THE CABIN KILLING PASSENGERS AND THEN PLANE WOULD CRASH KILLING THOSE LEFT. THERE WOULD BE A GOV INVESTIGATION ON ONE INCIDENT. PLEASE CHECK TO SEE THAT THOUSANDS OF OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN. THEY WILL RECALL FOR CRUISE...
